Default coil over ???'s

Anybody know of a site that has step by step pics of how to install a tubular k-member, a -arms and the coil over kit. Ive got the billet adjustable screws but how are they held on the shocks??

no i just got it last night but was curious as to how it fits on there. So does the adjuster nut/sleve sit at the bottom of the strut and then you screw the nut up to lower the car? Can you acheive a low stance with the stock 4cly struts???

Definetly get yourself some cc plates. Also, I wouldnt look into MM for instructions, I know they have them on their website but alot of their stuff is tons different from other companies. I would call whoever you baught your sh*t from and see if you can get something from them or try google searching. If you find anything, PLEASE either post it up or send it my way, I will also be doing this swap VERRRRRRRRRY soon (ordered my a arms last week!!! )
